Output in context · Orlando Pirates finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 1.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
